Raid Scene: Tools & Rules Suggestion

[Rygar]

Looking for honest feedback as to whether or not this is a good idea... I'm new to 'end game' or 'high value target' raiding, so would like some veterans to weigh in.

I was present during the Kael KT fiasco last night, it seemed to me that a few slight rule tweaks along with tools players can use can help alleviate the problems I saw from last night.

The issue seemed to be someone got FTE but only had themselves or maybe a few guildies in the zone. Another guild arrives with full raid force (50+ people) and see only a few others in zone. How do we know who really has FTE claim if we weren't there? Is this honor system? GM involvement?

It would be nice if a custom command like /FTE could be used while you are in the zone (NOT outside the zone). Could look something like:

/FTE
----------------------------
King Tormax - <Awakened> - 22 mins left before forfeit
Derekor the Vindicator - <Azure Guard> - 33 mins left before forfeit

There are currently 2 targets with active FTE status in Kael Drakkel
----------------------------

This could really help alleviate a shit show and make things easier on GMs. I personally would like to see rules in place on a 'qualified' FTE where you need a 'raid force of intent' in the zone to qualify on the /FTE command. Such as 10 guildies in zone during an FTE to get on the /FTE list. If at any time less than 10 are in the zone, the FTE timer expires.

The /FTE command could have different timers for different spawns. Could also put rules in place to prevent qualifying for the /FTE list (multiple fail attempts, engaged FTE targets in other zones, etc).

Will this work? Is it possible to make a custom /FTE command even in the UI? If not, can a more useless command be used and modified (/charinfo? maybe even the /who list?).

Looking forward to the feedback.

It's a constructive suggestion, but imo there has already been enough non-classic 'enhancements' made to this server to deal with sort of people who play here.

Thank you, and I do agree on the non-classicness of current enhancements. I seem to recall the live raid scene was non GM involvement.

But since we're down this road, just feel it is a simple add-on

You should lose your Kael FTE if you FTE anything somewhere else. Sirken makes sacks of hammers look like mensa candidates. Rogean, whatever pictures he has of you to keep his job throuh this much gross incompetence cant be THAT naughty.

Calling the staff stupid - I think someone needs a forum vacation. Swish, log on your guide account and ban this c#nt

The fact that we are here talking about this shows the extent of how awful the raid scene is on this server.

Good idea, should be easy to implement and would clarify the situation. Not that I am raiding anymore... Raid guilds are just too busy messing with each other to make it more fun than having a tooth pulled without anaestesia...
